I loved seeing corpses floating downriver in the first Total War: Rome. It may be a while before we see guts spilled to the ground, but severed limbs and heads is a good start. A war wasn’t total without the savagery, brutality and horror of battle. I wanted more blood and gore going back to the first Total War: Shogun.
It also has a full moon and an excerpt from Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. The trailer for the new Total War: Rome 2 DLC, released on Halloween, features 3 impalings, 2 severed limbs, 2 decapitations and several gallons of blood in a span of 15 seconds. When a violent game is not violent enough, it launches a blood and gore pack.
